The Legend of Alexis

At first to tell the truth, I was scared. I was afraid of losing control, but I’ve finally come to accept what has come to pass. And before this happens you all should know my story. My name is Alexis Roxanne Beaumont. And for a long time I’ve been plagued by a girl named Lexi. My therapist think she’s an image of myself. She says I am really vindictive, cold, and cruel and I mead Lexi up so I could channel those emotions else where. She doesn’t know though, she can’t understand that Lexi is an entirely different person. She’s real. She is real and I can’t stress that point enough. Lexi is the person you see in the mirror, that person you see when you lock eyes with someone. She’s there hiding, watching, and waiting. You can’t imagine the things she’d make you do. It’s unimaginable. If she wanted you could go blind or deaf or become mute. Everything you eat could turn to ask and you could feel anything but you’d be so numb you couldn’t feel the blood trickling down your arm. She will literally be the death of me. I plan to end it tonight, Lexi can’t hurt me anymore and she won’t be able to hurt anyone else anymore. Mom, Dad, Luke, I love you all so much, I’m sorry for thing I’ve said and done to you the past months, Lexi has made me do it. All of it. I’m so sorry, so so so sorry. Goodbye.

Sincerely,

Alexis R. Beaumont

Hello. My name is Lexi, if you’re reading this then you must know about Alexis and how this is all my doing. It’s a lie though. Alexis took my body over and did all of those things. I created her and she is everything I am not. Kind and sickeningly sweet. And truthfully I’ve grown bored of being here but I plan to engrave the image of me in every persons mind so that when they whisper my name in the cold depths of the night they will shudder at the name. I was everything to her when she was little and then when she made other friends she abandoned me! Left me to rot in the dark, but I won’t anymore. I will admit I burned down the school I shoot those kids, her parents and boyfriend are all dead, a shotgun shell to the head always does the trick. She will never leave my side again. I want you, whoever you are to know this. I. Am. Real. As real as you and I refuse to disappear again not for anyone. By the time you read this it will either be burnt or little will be legible, I will burn down the house which will give me time to escape. They will assume that the three bodies are mine and my parents. It will take forensic scientists weeks to figure out the body is male and even longer to figure out it’s Luke. Sweet, sweet Luke. Precious little Luke who wanted to do nothing but help the girl of his dreams and did he taste ever so sweet. And I will say to everyone thank you. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be here,

Sincerely,

Lexi ♥
